Apple Cake



This is another sweet dessert that can be eaten any time of day. Made with healthy nut flour and loaded with apples and a bit of citrus and dried fruit. After it cools, I like to slice it and freeze for later eating.

2 lb apples (about 5 medium-sized)
2 cups almond flour
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of allspice
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
4 large eggs
3/4 cup honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Optional: I like to add about 3/4 cups of nuts and 1/2 cup of raisins when folding in the apples.

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 10-inch springform pan.
2. Peel and grate the apples, and then add the lemon juice.
3. Combine the almond flour, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
4. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs; then mix in the honey and vanilla.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix thoroughly. Quickly fold in the apples. You should try and move through this step quickly to take advantage of this chemical reaction, which will help to create a really high and light cake.
6. Bake for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes, cover with aluminum foil which has been sprayed with oil. Bake until the cake is firm on the sides but softer in the middle, about 45 more minutes.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool before releasing it from the springform pan.
